I use a few bluetooth devices with the Charge and recently got ride of some BT stereo headphones. I want to delete the profile for these headphones off my Charge but see now way to do so. I've looked in the user manual and played with the Bluetooth settings menu as well.

When I long-press a paired device, a menu pops up with the "Unpair" option. If you get the same thing, you should be able to un-pair the headphones, which should delete the profile.

Unpairing only seems to do just that, unpair it. It doesn't delete the profile. The item/device is still listed.

I spoke to Samsung CS and deleting a bluetooth profile from a phone cannot be done unless you have the device. So for those who loose their bluetooth device or get rid of it like I did, you're out of luck unless you do a factory reset.

Go to bluetooth settings and press the device you want removed and choose unpair. Then turn your bluetooth device on .Next select scan devices and it will remove the device you had unpaired.

Unfortunately this isn't working. I have 2 non-existent devices that I want to remove.
I "unpair" each of them, then re-scan. They disappear from the list.
Then I turn off BT, then turn it back on. Both devices are now back on the list, showing up as paired. How do you actually delete these devices and stop them from "pairing" every time BT is turned on?

I see this all too often in my line of work...tech support...
Usually what seems to work...go to...
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Select the "ALL" tab > Select available option (Bluetooth) or (Bluetooth Share) > Select either [Clear Data] or [Clear Cache]

Once you do that turn the phone off!

Seems to work well!

I have the "Bluetooth Share" option, however, all the buttons were greyed out, including clear data & clear share.

Search on plantronics support for re-pairing vs new pairing. When you turn on the headset, you have to hold the call button for ~6 secs until it toggles red and blue. Make your phone visible for discovery, then scan and/ or choose the plt 50 on the list of devices on ypur phone. It should re-pair.
